Re: root forest AD DC crashed

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry



do those two DCs belong to the same domain?

if yes.....

seize FSMO roles to the remaining DC
make sure the remaining DC is also a GC
make sure the remaining DC also hosts DNS
make sure to cleanup the AD metadata of the crashed DC

OR restore a backup of the crashed which was created before the crash

DC/AD was root forest server which crashed. I reinstalled. Now, how can I
